<br />- 9 - <br /> <br />-' <br /> <br />adjacent lands or the Crystal River. <br /> <br />The specific areas designated and described in this report are <br /> <br />those which our reconnaissance investigation indicated should be <br /> <br />carefully evaluated both for engineering and economic feasibility, <br /> <br />and for possible deleterious impacts within the area or on adjacent <br /> <br />lands. We do not consider this a complete inventory of potential <br /> <br />geologic problems of the area studied, nor do we believe that the <br /> <br />problems described are necessarily insoluble. However, we do believe <br /> <br />that any development of the area should proceed only with caution and <br /> <br />with full knowledge of geologic conditions within the entire area of <br /> <br />intended development and its environs. <br /> <br />This investigation is not intended to be either comprehensive or <br /> <br />final. Our intent is to focus attention on some of the typical engi- <br /> <br />neering geology problems that can be eXpected in extensive <development <br /> <br />of an area such as Marble, where much of the terrain is precipitous <br /> <br />and geologic processes are complex and vigorous. The specific areas <br /> <br />upon which we have focused our field investigations are either areas <br /> <br />of known, but potentially seriQUs geologic phenomena - such as the <br /> <br />mud floods that have occurred periodically on Slate and Carbonate <br /> <br />Creeks during historic times - or major features which were discovered <br /> <br /> <br />during photogeologic and field studies of the area. We believe that <br /> <br /> <br /><before extensive construction is undertaken in the area, much more ex- <br /> <br /> <br />tensive and detailed engineering geology studies would be advisable. <br /> <br />Although the information contained in this report is pertinent to <br /> <br />any present or proposed planning for the area, we believe that it will <br /> <br /> <br />be equally applicable to possible development during the foreseeable <br /> <br /> <br />future - the problems implicit in safe and economically feasible <br />
